Biography
1550), generally known as Innocenzo da Imola, was an Italian painter and draftsman.
Training under Mariotto Albertinelli, Gasparo Sacchi and Francesco Francia is recorded. Francesco Primaticcio and Prospero Fontana are recorded as having studied under Innocenzo di Pietro Francucci da Imola. The recorded working language is Italian. Works named in the authority record are Portrait of a woman. Work by Innocenzo di Pietro Francucci da Imola is recorded in the collections of Städel Museum, J. Paul Getty Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Museum in Warsaw and Statens Museum for Kunst.
The son of a goldsmith named Pietro, he was born in Imola sometime around 1490. After presumably studying with his father in Imola, by 1506 he had moved to nearby Bologna to study painting. According to Carlo Cesare Malvasia he entered the studio of Francesco Francia in 1508 (although the reliability of this claim has been questioned). He later went to Florence where in 1510 he worked under the direction of Mariotto Albertinelli. His earliest known works include The Virgin and Child with Saints Sebastian, Roch, Cosmas and Damian was signed and dated in 1515. The Virgin and Child with Saints John, Apollinaris and Catherine and a Bishop, signed and dated in 1516. This second painting is in Cásola Valsenio, near Bologna. During his life he produced a series of religious frescoes and altarpieces, painted in a Raphaelesque manner. His only secular paintings are five mythological frescoes in the Palazzina della Viola in Bologna. He trained artists such as Francesco Primaticcio, Prospero Fontana, and Pietro Lamo. The Church of Santa Maria Dei Servi in Bologna has interior paintings by Francucci. Francucci died in Bologna around 1550.
